Dave Rubin opens the November 18, 2025 episode by critiquing Bill Maher's dismissal of Patton Oswalt regarding gender identity and birth certificate changes. He contrasts this with Democrats' delayed access to Epstein files under Trump, mocks Marjorie Taylor Greene's media-driven apology, and warns of a "Red-Green Alliance" evidenced by Dearborn's mayor and NYC's socialist election. Citing reduced inflation and energy prices, Rubin supports military strikes off Venezuela against narco boats while condemning Seattle's new mandate for open grocery stores as part of a broader societal shift.

We are live streaming despite the problems that the internet is facing this morning that you probably know about.
We are live streaming on Rumble, YouTube, and locals.
We got a post-game show, RubinReport.locals.com.
And yes, for those of you living in a cave, you may not have noticed, but for a few hours this morning, it was like when Andy Dufran slugged through about a, what was it, about a mile, about a football field, they said, a football field of human feces and got out of Shawshank and on the other side yelled freedom.
The internet was down.
Cloudflare, Cloud Flare, which I guess runs probably about a third of the internet sites, was down.
Twitter was down, or X as they call it.
People were struggling, did not know how to communicate with each other.
It was absolutely beautiful.
I took a walk with the dog.
Then my phone died on top of it.
So not only was the internet barely working, my phone died too.
I was just out there looking at the birds and the iguanas and picking up dog poop.
It does not get much better than that.
Also, before we get to it, I just want to thank all of you because I did take a gander at the comments yesterday.
And I was a little concerned at the top of the show because I wore the collared shirt with the short sleeves because we're doing a little painting in my room and I couldn't get into the master closet.
And I was worried that would people be able to accept news from somebody whose arms you could see.
And apparently the answer is yes.
And the people, several people requested more.
They requested even a lower, a little more of an opening.
No, we're not going to, okay, we're not going to do that.
Sorry, boss.
Let's dive in.
We got a ton to get to.
A little bit of crazy left, some whackiness on the right.
General stuff.
This is just kind of a general everything program.
I would put it that way.
I do want to start with something interesting because, you know, it is incredibly difficult and I would say increasingly hard to talk to people who we all disagree with.
I reach out to people on the left all the time.
Barely anyone who's willing to talk to me.
I would say even for some of the splintering on the right, I think we're going to see that it will be increasingly hard for people on the right who have divergence of opinion to talk to each other.
But Bill Maher on Club Random had Patton Oswald on.
Patton Oswald, he, well, he, first off, the guy just looks like a troll.
I don't want to make fun of the trollish body shape or anything.
But the reason I'm even saying that to start, because you might go, Dave, that's not very nice.
This guy has called me racist a million times on Twitter, said horrible things about me.
I blocked him a long time ago.
But anyway, he's just like a perfect kind of progressive, lefty Hollywood troll.
That's kind of what he is.
And we're going to show you a couple of clips here because Bill, who obviously is just kind of old school liberal, as you know, he really does a nice job of, while sitting and enjoying some co-political, just poking holes in some of the progressive nonsense.
Credit, and you get a free case of Copal just to show you that credit gets laid out here.
The idea that the progressives are the mature ones.
You see what Patton did there?
He did something that this is kind of a standard thing of what they do.
When you get the results of an election that they want, so in this case, when you get Obama, that means that the country was evolved and progressed and mature.
When the election goes the other way, it's the reverse of those things.
And that's a really, really dangerous thing because half the country just, we just know this, that basically we're a 50-50 country, something like that.
And obviously, I think our side has a better set of ideas that are much more in line with, you know, the Constitution and freedom and liberty and all that.
He has a set of ideas that means that when his people are in charge, that's when all of the good stuff's happening.
I don't sit here and say all of the good stuff's happening when Trump's in charge.
Trump happens to be doing a good job, but there's a disconnect in the mind.
He basically, things are good if he gets what he wants.
That's kind of a progressive motto there.
But the real takeaway of that is that Bill just lays it out, right?
This is really good by Bill because he's pointing out something that is actually true.
Let's show the headline.
You may all remember this.
California paves way for non-binary birth certificates.
So it's absolutely true.
And of course, Patton, because he's kind of a perfect progressive, he never knows what he doesn't know, right?
They all kind of live in their perfect progressive cave.
And if something doesn't fit their narrative, they just don't seem to know about it.
But we all know that the left largely, almost without exception, except for Fetterman and a couple other people, has gone crazy with this gender stuff.
You may remember this from March of 22.
This is Supreme Court at that time nominee Katanji Brown Jackson, and she don't know that boys have penises and girls have vaginas.
And everyone was like, well, it just doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Except when you bring up things like Bill pointed out to, I don't know, not putting gender on birth certificates or on passports or the litany of other crazy things that come out of California, that a school can misgender your child and literally hide it from you as the parent and they can take your child away if you don't affirm their gender, which is actually the least affirming thing you can do and everything else.
But the reason I wanted to start with those clips is not because Patton Oswald is important.
He's not important.
But what he illustrated there of this certain set of people that everything is good if we get what we want.
And then when you point out the things that they don't know, they kind of, well, I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know, but it never breaks through.
It never causes a sort of shift in their mind.
And that is what we are largely up against here.
So now I want to shift to something else because over the last couple of days, the Epstein stuff seems to have burst back.
And as I said on the show yesterday, anything that can be released that is direct evidence of anyone that did anything horrific with the child must come out, right?
You have to protect the parties that were molested or raped or whatever it was, right?
But you should go after people who did anything criminal.
The thing that seems bizarre to me is that the Democrats had access to all of these files for years and did nothing.
And the fact that it just keeps popping back up now seems like it's a political crudgel to be whacked over the head of Donald Trump.
However, Trump, who's usually pretty good about staying in front of things, this is what he said yesterday on Truth Social.
As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the fake news media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files because we have nothing to hide and it's time to move on from this Democrat hoax perpetrated by radical left lunatics in order to deflect from the great success of the Republican Party, including our recent victory on the Democrats' shutdown.
The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the public on Epstein, are looking at various Democrat operatives, Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, et cetera, and their relationship to Epstein.
And the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to.
I don't care.
All I do care about is that Republicans get back on point, which is the economy, which is the economy, affordability, where we are winning big, our affordability, where we are winning big.
Oh, sorry, we had that twice.
Our victory on reducing inflation from the highest level in history to practically nothing, bringing down the prices for the American people, delivering historic tax cuts, gaining trillions of dollars in investment into America, a record, the rebuilding of our military, securing the border, deporting criminal legal aliens, ending men and women's sports, stopping transgender for everyone, and so much more.
Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive.
And if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our landslide election victory.
Some members of the Republican Party are being used and we can't let that happen.
Let's start talking about the Republican Party's record-setting achievements and not fall into the Epstein trap, which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us.
Make America great again.
So I think Trump is largely right about that.
Again, reiterate, anyone who did anything absolutely criminal and there's evidence of it, of course, you pay the price for it.
We still don't know who is in charge of all of this and everything else.
But that, you know, this is where Bondi made a huge mistake to say the files are on my desk, as I've said repeatedly.
The files are on my desk and we're going to repeat them.
Nobody knew what that meant.
The files.
Okay, so you got a stack of papers like this.
And does it actually show things?
Is it just flight logs, et cetera, et cetera?
But all of that aside, because I have no more insight into this than any of you do, right?
We're all just getting the same information that has leaked out to us here and there, and everything is kind of rumor and conjecture.
All of that aside, it does seem to me that this is only coming back now because the Democrats think they can hang some portion of this on Trump.
Trump, a guy who 21 years ago booted Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago and was clearly one of the few people that didn't want to be in his circles.
But there seems to be something political going on here, right?
In the K-Fabe version of all of this.
Again, why didn't the Democrats release all of this when they had the House and they had Congress and they had the presidency and everything else?
Why wouldn't they have been released the last four years when President Biden was in office?
Well, that's the question every American is asking.
Okay, well, how about you ask that question, Chuck Schumer?
How about someone asks, that's what the guy's asking you, basically.
Why didn't you guys do something about it when you could?
We also, I saw something on Twitter, which we tried to verify right before the show here, which is that Jake Tapper, good old CNN's Jake Tapper, during the four years of the Biden administration, he maybe, it's a little unclear, maybe had one tweet about the Epstein files.
When Trump was president the first time, he had a whole bunch, and suddenly right now he has a whole bunch.
That is the type of thing that I'm always more interested in.
The narrative and the framing around the story.
We're very, very interested in something when it fits our narrative, and we're really not interested in something when it doesn't fit our narrative.
A great example of this I can give you is that remember when Elon bought Twitter a couple of years ago and suddenly for a week, there were all these stories about all this child porn that's on Twitter.
And that is horrible, obviously.
But then if you went in and looked at all of the reporters at Axios and Daily Beast and CNN and blah, blah, blah, who were writing about it the week before or at any time before he bought Twitter, they never wrote about it.
So that's the piece of kind of understanding how fake news operates that you really have to kind of get in your brain.
Here is Timu Obama.
And when I tell you that this guy's just nothing, he is nothing in a suit.
I think he's a robot.
I actually think this guy's a robot.
Here he is being asked why we should trust the Democrats right now when at least one of them was in on it with Epstein for sure.
Just watch his response.
unidentified
Why should Americans trust you and House Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files when one of your own, Congresswoman Plaskett, was found to be texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a hearing, getting information from him, using that in her questioning during a congressional hearing.
Plaskett, who is a Democrat member of Congress, was texting with Epstein during one of the hearings, can address that.
But again, you were part of the government during the Biden administration, Timu Obama.
So why did you guys not release it then?
However, I will, I've been trying to do it really hard lately.
I will give the devil his due.
I will agree with you on something here.
Anyone who was on those flights who that now there is evidence that they went to those islands to molest kids or whatever it was that they were doing there, to whatever extent any of it was illegal, of course they should pay the price.
Here is Nancy Mace, Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace on CNN talking to Erin Burnett, sort of making the point about the politicization of all of this.
But the president of the United States did say over the weekend that only a very bad or stupid Republican would fall into the trap of voting for the release of the files.
unidentified
And he's come around.
That's the fact that he's not going to be able to do that.
I'm just telling you guys, like, that's the meta part that you really have to focus on.
When and why do people want things released?
Anderson Cooper, how many times did you do shows about the Epstein files while Joe Biden was in office?
But you guys seem to think that right now you can point this at Trump.
But again, I just read you the Trump true social thing.
He's saying release everything.
But the political part of this that I think is weird is that if you have all of the Democrats and then a few Republicans who are suddenly getting a bunch of lavish praise on CNN working together, do you think there's something a little weird there?
And of course, the main Republican doing this right now is Marjorie Taylor Greene, who seems to be reversing all of her old positions, going wildly against Trump and now getting tons of love from mainstream media.
Do they literally, do they check their testosterone when they hire them?
Like they like there, look at your resume.
Well, you work at Harvard and you're, oh, you have no testosterone?
You're hired.
Oh, you've masturbated on a Zoom?
You're hired.
It's just so weird.
But anyway, the point of that, obviously, is that I'm telling you, there's something weird going on here that has nothing to do with the Epstein thing.
It's the alliance that seems to be forming that is radically against Trump.
And now it even includes someone like the most racist woman on television whose husband's worth a $450 million, yet did not feed one person during the 40 days that the snap benefits were gone.
Yes, I'm talking about Sonny Hostin.
Here she is saying that MTG may not have changed, but she's going to give her a little credit, which is the next step into having Marjorie Taylor Greene be a co-host of The View in probably two years.
That's what we're, maybe we should, this should be the title of the week, Devil is Due.
So how am I giving the Devil his Due here?
Well, Sonny, you're kind of right that I think when someone's probably in their 50s and they start reevaluating all of their political beliefs and changing all of their alliances in a matter of weeks, that is worth having a little curiosity about.
I actually agree, regardless of whether it was someone going from left to right or right to left.
I'll give you that.
The part that I won't give you is if you are crediting her for not wanting to be part of the toxicity.
I mean, if I was doing a toxicity list, you're up there, lady.
You are arsenic on the toxicity list of what's gone on here.
Or you call everybody racist.
You are an extraordinary liar and you are a genuine bigot and all of those things.
So I suppose it's nice that you kind of like her now because she's coming around to your positions, which to the point of the Patton Oswald clip up top, what do they love?
Things are good when people accept that we are right about things.
And when they don't accept it, then we can burn everything down.
That's basically the attitude that connects Patton to somebody like Sonny Hostin.
So I would say we have to all take this with a grain of salt.
Or as an old comedian who I used to know, Nicole Corcolis, used to say, take it all with a gram of Coke.
But either way, here is a senator by the name of Mark Wayne Mullen, who's a colleague and I think a friend of Marjorie Taylor Greene, basically saying she doesn't know what she's talking about when it comes to grocery prices and some of the economic stuff.
And I think this is worth noting because most of the fight right now within MAGA seems to be about economics.
And I think it seems to me she's using this as some, she's using the Epstein thing as some kind of other crudgel.
But the economy is turning around and we need to acknowledge that.
Okay, so putting the Epstein stuff aside, which she's getting a lot of cred for, right?
She's going on networks that hated her three weeks ago, and now she's getting like a total suck job from them.
Okay.
Putting that aside for just a second.
Yeah, it's funny.
Anderson Cooper giving the suck job.
Putting that aside for just a second.
On the economic side, I mean, not only you heard what he just said right there.
I've talked about it here.
When I go to the grocery store, it's noticeable to me that a lot of things are cheaper.
Trump's only been in office for 10 months.
How much can you change overnight?
That's one part of it.
But energy prices absolutely are down.
Gas prices are down.
Inflation is down.
We are not endlessly printing money.
We've also got control of the border, which over time, as we get rid of illegals, that will be more money in your pocket because we will have to spend less on illegal health care or housing or all of the other stuff.
So what is really going on here?
I think we're getting some version of the horseshoe theory right now, which is that you are going to see the more, they're not even libertarian.
I don't even know what they are at this point.
You're going to see the more non-government part of the Republican Party.
They are going to somehow be in cahoots with the AOCs.
The Marjorie Taylor Greens and the Tucker types are going to have way more in common with the AOCs and the Bernies than they do with Trump, which is so ironic and sad for America.
But we will put a pin in that.
And we will get to more in just a moment.
But first, let me talk about Noble Gold.

All right, let's talk about socialism and migration and Islamification.
Three of my favorite topics.
You know, if I'm looking for a good time at dinner, let's jump back to Bill and Patton because I think the key part of this is that Patton Oswald, he is a perfect progressive.
He's in on all of the bad ideas.
And then every time he is confronted with the fact that they are bad ideas, he pretends to have no idea about any of them, which is a tactic they all use.
So the Marxists and the Islamists are in it together.
They've basically demolished the old school libs.
The conservatives don't know how to stand up for themselves.
Does this sound a little familiar to where we're at right now?
And the problem is, now let's bring it back to our shores, is that we have a version of this here.
As you know, Dearborn, Michigan has become ground zero for the Islamatization of America.
Here is the mayor of Dearborn.
This is a man who, remember we played you a clip a couple weeks ago where a citizen went up at a public hearing and said that he would prefer not to hear the Muslim call for prayer in the morning.
And the guy said, basically, you should leave our city.
Well, here is the Dearborn mayor, Mayor Hamoud, saying that he doesn't believe in assimilation or the American melting pot.
unidentified
Because what you often hear that's accompanied with that is, well, you must assimilate.
I'm not even going to bother with his idiotic analogy there.
This is really, really dangerous, guys.
What he's basically saying is we are separate.
And how do you think that that works out for a Christian or a Jew or an atheist in that town?
Do you want to live in a city where five times a day they have the Muslim call for prayer blaring from speakers?
Do you want that?
And I wonder if Christians started blaring music or Jews started blaring music, how would the Muslims deal with that?
But there is a problem here, and most people seem to be afraid to address it.
And I understand why people don't want to address it.
The problem is if you are the ostrich and you bury your head in the sand, you will just be beheaded a little bit lower on the neck.
That's how this works.
And if you want to see how this thing is now going, how it is scaling across the country, well, we elected, well, not we, but New York City elected this guy, Moron Zamboni, who as I've said, he's a socialist for sure, touch a jihad over there, probably a little more than a touch of jihad.
But they are slowly going to inject Islam into all parts of New York City.
Do I have any proof of this on video?
I do, because here is a New York City police teaching ceremony where they're teaching other police officers how to wear a hijab.
unidentified
So I'm going to take out a little example, a little bit of everything.
So, ideally, you just, there's different ways, by the way.
You can fit it how you want it, but you can take one side short, one side short.
Okay, look, if that woman wants to wear the hijab, that is just fine.
Anyone that wants to wear whatever the flying fuck you want to wear in your private life, whether it's religious or you're a dude who wants to wear a dress, you want to do all that, that's fine.
But why are the police officers on city dime teaching this?
This is completely and utterly absurd.
And once you inject a certain racial, because it is racial to some extent, but once you inject a certain religious element into the New York City police department with all of the strife that we have on the streets already, right?
And the chanting to kill all the Zionists and everything else.
How do you think that's going to work out?
How do you think that's going to work out?
And then there'll be Shabriya-compliant police officers in New York City and everything else.
Like, it's here, guys.
It's kind of depressing, but it is here.
And we've got more evidence that it's getting worse because Zorhan, or Moron Zamboni, as I like to call him, he has now endorsed a woman by the name of Abber Kawas for New York State Assembly.
Here she is blaming America on 9-11 because of Islamophobia.
unidentified
And so like, and finding that like, you know, the system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy, et cetera, have all, and Islamophobia have all been used, you know, to colonize lands, right, to take resources from other people.
And so this is like a long trajectory.
And we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation, right, with 9-11.
Wait till she got into a little bit of the Arab colonization of the Middle East or the Muslim colonization of the Middle East.
She's not going to talk about that part.
Are these the type of people that you think are going to lead us to a future America that will be free and prosperous?
Or are they doing exactly what they're saying, which is trying to destroy our system, our capitalist system from the inside and use all of our freedoms against us?
And they want it to be the salad that he wants, where, you know, the funny, I will talk about the metaphor for just a second.
You know, we are a melting pot because the whole idea was that you can take all of these ingredients in and of themselves and together they make a beautiful, delicious soup, a delicious stew.
You ever make a soup that sits on the pot, that sits in the pot all day long and it smells great and all of the scents and the flavors, they all enrich each other.
That's what America's done for about 200 years.
He wants to turn it into something that we just throw in a bowl and it's all actually really separate.
And yeah, the salad's okay, but it's a completely different way of viewing the world.
And if you don't want to assimilate into America, then you probably are actually not American.
At least you don't have the American ethos.
That's just simply a fact.
Of course, the other part of this is that we've just let, putting aside some of the legal people, I mean, I assume that the mayor of Dearborn is here legally and so is that lady, who probably will be elected because that's kind of the trajectory of all of this.
The other problem is that we've just let a zillion people in here who are not here legally.
Here is Stephen Miller talking about the amount of people, migrants, who are in rent-controlled housing in New York City.
In one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world, 40% of rent-controlled properties are being lived in by people who weren't even born in the country.
What kind of system is this?
We bring in people from foreign countries and then we pay to lower the cost of their housing while people who were born here have to pay higher prices.
So when President Trump is reducing that migration, that is what's going to ultimately, along with all these other steps, deregulation, historic tax cuts, going to bring down the cost of housing.
He's not talking about illegals who are getting that housing, who obviously most of us at this point agree they should be booted, and that's exactly what this administration is doing.
He's talking about foreign-born.
So it's that first-generation American.
Why are so many of them getting these government subsidies?
And then do you think they are not going to vote to continue those subsidies?
And that's exactly what happened in New York City.
I forget maybe one of you guys remember the numbers on the first generation people that came here and voted for Mom Dami versus Cuomo.
It was something like Cuomo got like 75% of the vote of people who have been here for more than one generation.
And Mom Dami got something like 70% of the vote of first-timers.
Ballparking it.
I don't remember the statistics off the top of my head.
We'll look for it.
Let me show you one more bill because here he is talking about, this is from real time actually, talking about what happens when we trade capitalism, the thing that allows maximal freedom and the most amount of variation and liberty in a system when we trade that for socialism.
But then Poland, finally free of Soviet-style economics, went all in on capitalism.
And now their economy is as big as Japan.
And people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes.
Meanwhile, Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez's socialism for the 21st century, which turned out to be like socialism in the last century or any century, a mess.
It turned one of Latin America's richest countries into one of its poorest.
Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, 8 million people fleeing.
If you think New York can somehow reinvent this wheel, you're in for a rude awokening.
To clarify what I was talking about before, we just checked the numbers.
So, Mom Dami in New York got 62% of the first generation immigrants.
Think about that.
So, these people, they get on the government dole, they get the subsidies, they get in rent-controlled apartments, and then of course they are going to vote for someone who's going to continue that.
And then, as Miller points out in the previous clip, who do you end up punishing?
You end up punishing the people that have been here that are working hard and are paying taxes because they're paying market price for apartments, which then subsidize the rent-controlled apartments for the people who just got here.
And then, that's ultimately what class warfare is about.
And then, you throw in a dash of the woke stuff when it comes to race and everything else, and you have a powder keg ready to go in New York City.
So, to everything Bill said there, we've been through this experiment.
It has never worked.
As I always say, think about your grandparents, think about your grandparents.
It doesn't matter where you are from.
Someone in your family came to America with almost almost without exclusion because they were fleeing the ideas of communism or socialism or Marxism.
They were fleeing authoritarian regimes that promised everything.
The bad guys don't come in saying we're the bad guys.
The bad guys come in saying we're the good guys, we're smiling.
See, we're for everybody.
And what that usually means is we're gonna have to kill a lot of people because the everybody we're for is this many people, right?
In America, we're actually for everybody in that we let you pursue your happiness, right?
We hopefully can create as even a playing field as possible.
And it's not always perfect.
And some are born with a little bit more.
Some people are just born stupid.
There are stupid people.
They are out there.
And some people are born with a lot of money and they end up blowing all of that and dying early because they're drug addicts.
That's what life's all about.
But we've done it here better than anywhere else.
And we are electing because of these, largely because of these idiotic immigration policies.
We are now electing people to usher in the thing that all our ancestors fled.
It is rather disgusting.
I need a minute to collect myself.

It's just New York City.
And sure, it'll be taken over by socialists and Islamists, but it's just New York and it'll, so what?
So what?
Who cares, right?
Well, it's actually happening in many other places.
We talked about Dearborn, Michigan.
We know it's going on in Minneapolis.
And now let's jump over to Wackadoodle, Seattle, because if you thought Seattle was crazy over the last couple of years, it's about to get a lot crazier.
Listen to this from Fox News.
Katie Wilson, a progressive activist who operates a small nonprofit called the Transit Riders Union, defeated Democrat Mayor Bruce Harrell in an election so tight that it took over a week to determine.
Harrell conceded Thursday as the vote totals all but guaranteed a win for Wilson, who, like Mom Dami, identifies as a Democratic socialist.
Like Mom Dami, Wilson has faced criticism for past support of defunding the police, most notably through her support of a solidarity badge, which would have cut the police force by 50%.
So, okay, she doesn't strike me.
You can leave the image up for just a second.
She doesn't strike me as an Islamist, per se.
There you've got a moderate Karen-looking-ish white woman, although, as you know, it's the liberal women that are going to be the death of all of us.
But she's into the socialism thing.
unidentified
And if you want a little more evidence of it, well, here's this: the very clear twin crises of affordability.
Yeah, because giant grocery stores get in the business of trying to starve people.
I know if you were working at a big giant grocery store and you're like, boy, there's all this food out there and we can put all the fluorescent lighting in and we're going to do all that.
But actually, you know what?
Why open that store?
Let's just starve the fuckers.
It's just so stupid.
You know why some of these stores close?
They close usually because of the amount of crime and mayhem that you people allow.
Oakland, Oakland, which is a shithole.
It has turned into an absolute shithole.
Where is Jose Conseco and Mark McGuire when you need them?
Not in Oakland anymore, I promise you that.
And the reason is it turned into such a crime-ridden dump that In and Out, the greatest burger joint in the world, they had to leave.
It's not just Walmart that has to close or some of these other places, but her entire ethos is that giant corporations want to create starvation and food deserts, and we will force them to stay open.
How are you going to do that?
Is it by gunpoint?
You're going to force the worker?
You better scan that fucking kale.
Like, it's absolutely insane.
And the crazy part about this, we added this back in at the last second.
No, I'll show you something else and then I'll show you what we added.
Here she is because she beat Bruce Hurrell, right?
Bruce Hurrell, we've shown you videos of this guy.

All right, so using a little colorful language today, maybe I haven't made my point about why socialism is bad.
So let us continue via Venezuela.
That's a good title for a movie.
Via Venezuela.
This from Fox News.
Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro broke into a song during a rally Saturday singing John Lennon's Imagine and calling for peace as the Trump administration bolsters a military presence off Venezuela's coast in what it says is an effort to curb drug trafficking.
Maduro's appeal for peace comes as tensions with Washington escalate with U.S. warships patrolling Caribbean waters near Venezuela.
The Trump administration says the operation is part of a broader effort to fight drug trafficking, while Maduro has denounced it as an aggression meant to weaken his government.
The USS Gerald R. Ford, the nation's most advanced aircraft carrier, entered the Caribbean Sea on Sunday, the AP reported.
So as you guys know, we are being a little less kind to people who want to bring meth and fentanyl and other drugs into our country.
And if you're on a boat and you're speeding through the waters heading to America to drug our children, Donald Trump is sending in rockets to blow you up.
We will have video evidence of that in a moment.
But first, I would be remiss if we didn't show you the socialist leader singing John Lennon's Imagine.
You know, first off, this may be controversial, but Imagine is a horrible song.
It is one of the worst songs of all time because it's complete.
Well, first off, you also know how I feel about the Beatles.
I don't like the Beatles.
Connor likes the Beatles.
I'm a big issue in this room.
I don't like the Beatles.
It's a cacophony of a bunch of competing sounds.
I just don't like it.
I don't care for it.
Sorry if you're from Liverpool.
That's number one.
Number two, the song itself is not good because it is completely utopian in nature.
There'll be no borders.
There'll be no, okay, we'll all be exactly the same.
Wouldn't it be perfect?
I suppose in some sort of, well, I would call that, they think it's utopian.
I think it's dystopian.
We are allowed to be different.
We are allowed to have nations.
We shouldn't be warring with each other.
And it's nice when you meet someone who's a little bit different from you.
I don't like this song.
Here's Marco Rubio, a man who also doesn't want drugs showing up on our borders.
So he's doing something about it.
The State Department intends to designate Cartel de los Soles, a foreign terrorist organization headed by the illegitimate Nicolas Maduro.
The group has corrupted the institutions of government in Venezuela and is responsible for terrorist violence and conducted by and with other designated FTOs as well as for trafficking drugs into the United States and Europe.
And here's a video of a narco boat strike making it, apparently this gets it to 80 people who have been killed in these strikes.
Again, these are people who are coming to America from Venezuela with drugs on their boats.
Well, there are now at least 80 people killed from these boat strikes.
And according to U.S. Southern Command, they say that this vessel was being operated by a designated terrorist organization and that intelligence confirmed that the vessel was involved in illicit narcotics, smuggling, transiting, along with a narco-trafficking route.
And that's the type of person I want being the president of the United States.
Oh, you are illegally trying to come here via boat or through Mexico so that you can drug our children and cause urban despair on the streets and all the things that come with that and ruin families and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
We're going to blow you up and we're going to do what we got to do.
And I think that is the right attitude.
And again, that gets to the joking aside, the don't come thing.
It gets to the point.
Send the message to the world.
Stop effing with us.
And just sending the message in and of itself.
We had to blow up a couple boats.
And then guess what?
By default, less boats will come.
You send the message to the cartels.
You're not going to be able to get these people through the border anymore.
And then they will try less.
And that is why this guy deserves a hell of a lot of credit because he brought a huge amount of people into this coalition right now that is fixing the country.
And while we're seeing now people on the right, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, abandon the guys so she can get love from CNN.
Remember, this guy is doing things that nobody thought could be done, much like bringing a guy with the last name Kennedy into the coalition here.
And this will bring us home.
Here's Bobby Kennedy on some of the things that Trump has done.
I don't think, I think it's hard to have a third party in this country.
And, you know, having now been in the government for a while, I think if I had won the presidency as an independent, that it would have been very, very hard for me to govern.
I think President Trump has gotten more done than any other president in this period of time.
We go through the list all the time, so I won't hit you over the head again.
But for all of the people, and maybe you're watching this and you're one of them, and you want things to happen faster, or you want housing prices to go down quicker, or you're frustrated, whatever your frustrations might be.
And I'm not saying frustrations are not legitimate.
Nobody is perfect, right?
Nothing happens overnight.
And this is the guy that fought everything that we all thought this could never happen.
And he did it twice.
So let's be a little patient here.
And again, to get to what I think is the grand part of the show today, just be wary of the people that are turning on him and where they're getting love from, right?
If you're a Republican and you're suddenly getting love from CNN, maybe you're not the good guy.
You guys are good guys for watching the show.
And we've got a post-game show for you in 30 seconds.
